Title: System, method and computer program for forecasting energy price
Inventor: ELLIS GORDON D
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2012-11-14
Abstract: A system, method and computer program for forecasting energy price is provided that includes an adaptive hybrid forecasting engine. The adaptive hybrid forecasting engine is operable to generate an energy price forecast based on both a prediction utility and a correction utility. The prediction utility may implement a linear modeling algorithm for predicting energy price based on historical data. The linear modeling algorithm may be a multiplicative seasonal ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model, for example, which includes both a regular ARIMA and seasonal ARIMA model. The correction utility may implement an adaptive dynamic correction algorithm that is operable to adapt the energy price forecast based on current or near-current conditions. The adaptive dynamic correction algorithm may be a LL (lazy learning) algorithm.
Patent CA-2859503-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCARTHY STEPHEN J
IPC: C10G69/04
Filed: 2012-12-13
Abstract: This invention relates to methods and processes for increasing the production of FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking) gasoline products, and optionally distillate products, from refinery feedstocks. In particular, the processes include hydrotreating and further hydroisomerizing a typical FCC range feedstream prior to catalytically cracking the feedstream in the FCC unit. The methods herein result in higher FCC naphtha yields and lower FCC cat bottoms yields thereby significantly increasing the overall FCC gasoline production for a given operating unit and increasing the profit margin of such FCC unit operations.

Title: System and method for online inspection of turbines including temperature and vibration compensating lens mount
Inventor: BALEINE ERWAN
IPC: G02B7/02
Filed: 2013-01-18
Abstract: Optical camera systems for nondestructive internal inspection of online, operating power generation turbines, including gas turbine combustor and turbine sections that are at high operating temperatures in the range of over 600°C (1112°F). The system includes one or more temperature and vibration-compensating lens systems in the optical tube mount. The lens is circumferentially retained within a lens mount, with a mounting ring in contact with only the lens axial face. A biasing element exerts axially oriented biasing force on the first lens face through the first mounting ring, allowing for mount flexure in response to operational turbine vibration and temperature changes. The lens mount is advantageously combined with aspheric lenses capable of withstanding continuous operating temperatures above 600°C. The aspheric lenses, alone or in combination with spherical lenses, establish a wider field of view, and require fewer lenses in combination than lens mounts incorporating only spherical lenses.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved profiled gasket with superior wear resistance and a wear sensor. The gasket is to be used on piping systems that transport abrasive slurries.  The gasket will provide a smoother transition between pipe joints where gaps and misalignments can exist. The profiled gasket fills gaps in piping systems created by coatings and liners in piping systems. The gasket fills these gaps with a highly wear resistant material to minimize or eliminate leading edge wear in piping systems. The wear resistance is improved by infusing the gasket materials with highly abrasion resistant materials. As well, a wear sensor is imbedded into the gasket to indicate wear has occurred.
